Name of client/company: Autentiq
Line of business: Premium luxury car styling
Project date: 2024
Description of the problem or challenge:
Autentiq deals with premium and sophisticated styling of vehicles, especially premium to top-class cars. Original visual and protective solutions in sophisticated graphic design with attention to detail require absolutely flawless workmanship, without the slightest imperfections. Working with thin films of often non-standard dimensions is extremely demanding and requires perfect and even lighting of the application hall, which only has small windows.
The originally installed LED lighting was outdated, with an inappropriate spectral composition and correlated colour temperature (CCT). Due to the low CRI (colour rendering index), the colour fidelity and hue were poorly rendered. Workers also complained of eye strain and visual problems when presenting the results of their work.
So the aim was to create lighting…
- …with stable quality and uniform coverage of the entire application hall;
- …that does not distort the colours or shades of the materials used;
- …and produces no shadows or reflections, ensuring the truest possible presentation of the finished result;
- …that is as gentle as possible on the eyes of the workers;
- …that contributes to increased concentration and alertness, thereby reducing fatigue and error rates of workers and, above all,
- …contributes greatly to their health and vitality.
Description of the solution, technology used:
After consultations in the premises in question, we proposed the installation of full-spectrum procognitive indirectly illuminated linear lighting with a suitable correlated colour temperature and a high colour rendering index. Due to the fact that the owner of the company already uses and has been satisfied with Spectrasol biodynamic lighting in his home, he agreed to the proposal and offer.
In the first phase, Sunline 45 linear luminaires were installed in the 240 m2 workshop with indirect light distribution through reflection on the white ceiling, which eliminates glare and light reflections on the images of the finished cars. In addition to contributing to improved concentration, mood and health, full-spectrum procognitive lighting also offers excellent detail vision and a very pleasant subjective perception of the emitted light.
Key results:
The first phase of the installation (main workshop + office space) was completed in May 2024. All the employees, including the owner of the company, were extremely satisfied, so the second phase â installation in the rest of the premises â took place in July. According to the usersâ experience and feedback, all the goals we defined together with the client have been achieved and there is no need to change anything about the solution.
Clientâs statement:
âIâve been using Spectrasol biodynamic lighting at home for a long time, so I didnât have to think long about a lighting supplier for my workshop. Still, I was surprised by the magnitude of the change for the betterâ, says JiÅÃ LubÃnek, Managing Director of Autentiq, adding: âOur customers expect perfect services. Spectrasol lighting provides, among other things, true colour rendering, which makes our work much easier. Another great advantage is the non-reflectivity of the light â for presentation we need perfect visuals, which we can now easily obtain in the workshop. Finally, it is very important that my colleagues are happy about the quality of the light â the solution helps us avoid eye strain, mimics natural light and makes one feel at easeâ.
Next steps:
Judging by our experience in similar installations, we believe the client will not need any technical support for longer than the 5 years we guarantee. In any case, we are at his disposal for the entire lifetime of the application. In the coming years we will monitor the impact of our procognitive lighting on the work and health of the clientâs employees.
